Look

Headwear fashion trends, have made a lot of progress in the last few years. It took some time for retail looks to bleed over into team sports, but now that it has, we’re able to make much more interesting and fun pieces.

One thing never changes—hats have to be on-trend and pass the mirror test.

Feel

Comfort is one of the most important aspects of any uniform, but this goes beyond a well-fitting cap. OC Sports specializes in performance fabrics and other cap attributes we developed by studying what the pros wear on-field.

In 2018, players expect at a minimum for their caps to be lightweight and have a moisture wicking sweatband. That’s becoming pretty standard practice.

OC Sports is always looking for ways to push those boundaries. Now, we offer caps made with wicking fabrics instead of just the sweatband. When players sweat, it’s quickly moved up and out of the cap so it can evaporate and keep them cool. That’s one less thing to worry about, allowing them to focus more on their game.

Do your research to become a headwear expert, so you can adequately meet your customers’ needs. Listen to their concerns so you can provide the best on-time solution to meet their budget. Stay up-to-date with industry trends you see in retail styles and what the pros are wearing.
